My question is I am left handed, I found a really good deal on a remington 1187 for turkey hunting, mobu camo, 21 inch barrel xx full choke. Does anybody know if when the shells eject out of a semi-auto like this if they will fly back and hit me in the eyes or face, If so i am not going to buy this gun, all thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated, Thank you. P.S I shoot a right handed pump 835 ulti-mag and dont' t have this problem But not sure with an automatic.

It' s been years since I shot an 1187, but I believe it won' t effect you any they come pretty much straight out the side.

Have you considered a Browning? I believe most Browning' s are bottom-eject on the shells.

As a fellow lefty I can tell you this, if the gun is a 3 1/2" then expect to get hit in the nose. If the gun is a 3" then only expect it if you got a big nose

I havent had a problem with semi autos in 2 3\4 inch but I dont know about 3inch magnum. (And I do have a pretty big nose)[]
And NO, it doesnt grow everytime I post a story.

DONT DO IT it is not the shell that you are going to be worried obout it is all the burned and unburned poweder you are going to be concerend about . in a range there is no wind but in the field there is tons of wind .... dont buy one you will thank me latter i PROMISE

I agree with BGUNNER..... I' m a south paw and semi' s for righty' s are not good.
I got a nice clip on the face from a semi .308 and have never touched another right handed semi again.
Bolt action (if you can work it ok) or pump no problem but no more right handed semi' s [&:]
